This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
.MAIN must be defined for the implicit target rule to kick in
this fixes compilation with call like 'make', i.e. without specified target
another option would be to move the .if make() condition after config(8)
generated goo, since config(8) implicitly generates a .MAIN: directive too,
but the MD .if make() really belongs into (7) misc settings section IMHO
any time we remove all access to a given virtual page,
we must invalidate the (write-through) L1 dcache.
pmap_remove() still had it, but pmap_kremove(), pmap_clear_reference()
and pmap_page_protect(VM_PROT_NONE) didn't and needed it.
fixes PR 18040.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
very difficult to get out of sync. add bootinfo.h and promlib.h
(using the same method) so that sparc64 headers can build sparc
stand (not yet finished.)
be properly used by any misc. cloning device. While here, correct
a comment to indicate that "open" is the only entry point and that
everything else is handled with fileops.
MALLOC_NOINLINE, and VNODE_OP_NOINLINE. The exceptions are when they
include another config files that already defines the options, or if
they are for an embedded board, just define a few extra options, and
do not already define PIPE_SOCKETPAIR.
* struct sigacts gets a new sigact_sigdesc structure, which has the
sigaction and the trampoline/version. Version 0 means "legacy kernel
provided trampoline". Other versions are coordinated with machine-
dependent code in libc.
* sigaction1() grows two more arguments -- the trampoline pointer and
the trampoline version.
* A new __sigaction_sigtramp() system call is provided to register a
trampoline along with a signal handler.
* The handler is no longer passed to sensig() functions. Instead,
sendsig() looks up the handler by peeking in the sigacts for the
process getting the signal (since it has to look in there for the
trampoline anyway).
* Native sendsig() functions now select the appropriate trampoline and
its arguments based on the trampoline version in the sigacts.
Changes to libc to use the new facility will be checked in later. Kernel
version not bumped; we will ride the 1.6C bump made recently.
sysio streaming buffer flushes write a single 8-byte aligned 8-byte
value.
psycho streaming buffer flushes write a 64-byte aligned 64-byte block.
So separate out the streaming buffers into their own structure and pass those
in to all iommu operations. This also means we only flush the correct
streaming buffer for psycho rather than needing to flush both just in case.
